Writer & Director: Danielle Baynes ◦ Producers: Lottie Aspinall & Danielle Baynes ◦ Production Partner: Rabbit
“Visually, the film uses a muted naturalism that speaks to Maddie’s everyday... But when she begins getting cruel comments online, the visuals shift to a more vivid, antiseptically stark mode... It’s a big risk, but it works here, thanks to stellar craftsmanship and storytelling.”
“A compelling drama that taps into the harsh reality of social media. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The world of cyber-bulling and online commentary is not an easy topic to broach, let alone capture the emotion and energy of something so intangible, really well done. By the end, I could hardly stand hearing another buzz from her phone.”
